Maria
Alexander is on tour with Untangle
My Heart. She will be awarding a $10 Amazon GC to a randomly drawn
commenter during the tour.

BLURB:

When her marriage ended in tragedy, Kate DiFrancesco rebuilt her
life, but has never gotten over the pain of what she lost. Seeking the help of
an ex-lover ignites feelings she’s promised never to have again. She’ll need to
untangle herself from dangers in her past in order to break the hard shell
around her heart.

Edward Weston has a lot to prove, both to his stuffy upper-crust
British family, and to himself. Working
alongside Kate, a woman he had a casual relationship with, stirs unexpected
feelings. Helping her family makes him realize what he's missing. For the first
time, he wants more than a one-night stand.

When Kate is threatened, Edward must overcome feeling unworthy to
protect the woman he loves and fight for the family he never thought he’d have.

Excerpt:

Edward raised an eyebrow toward her.
“Are you sure you’re up for sledding?” he asked, with a glance down at her
black high-heeled boots.

She shot him a challenging look.
“Only if we race against you.”

“Me?”

“Lucas and I against you. Loser buys
dinner.”

He studied her, almost as though he
were weighing how he could turn this contest in his favor. Then he turned to
Lucas. “Why don’t you grab two sleds, sport, while I negotiate with Kate?”

Lucas nodded and ran off.

Edward hooked his fingers in her
jacket pockets and pulled her closer. “How about if I win, you go on a date
with me?”

“That’s playing dirty.”

“Very well. You can explain to Lucas
why we’re not racing.”

“I can’t do that. Just look at how
excited he is.” She nodded over to where Lucas stood waiting for available
sleds, jumping up and down and an enthusiastic grin on his face.

“My sled, my rules, or are you
afraid you’ll lose?”

He struck a nerve and he knew it.
She couldn’t back down from the challenge. Besides, she’d been rethinking the
whole not-dating thing and almost convinced herself she was being ridiculous
for fighting their attraction. So no matter what happened, she’d figured she’d
win.

She met the challenge of his gaze.
“One date—and don’t expect sex.”

He attempted to look shocked, but
one side of his mouth twitched. “Certainly not.”

“Fine. Be prepared to lose.”
